..... but for bad reasons - Mandurah is sixth most expensive city in world!

Holy crap!

The only places more expensive than us were:
1)Los Angeles, CA
2)Salinas, CA
3)San Francisco, CA
4)Honolulu, HI
5)San Diego, CA

I say again - holy crap!

I know...so sad. LA and Berkeley (which is around San Fran) are two places that we're thinking of moving to for Eric's law school. So expensive!!

Sounds like it is going to get you one way or the other! :-(

I was totally shocked to see my area (Houston, TX) in the "affordable" section, comparatively speaking. That was eye-opening.

I think I'll stay here. Anyone want to join me?

It's cheaper than here so it might be an improvement for me! The funny thing is, other than house prices which are just ridiculously expensive here just now, I would rate this as a cheap place to live. There again, I bought my house eight years ago and it is now worth about 450% more than it was then!

Well I know six places I won't be moving to.

Awwwww! :-(

Such a shame too - Mandurah really is a nice place, as long as you don't want an exciting night life, good restaurants that are affordable or ..... ummm, I think I might just stop there!
